I have several XTL 5000 radios w/dual heads that are in use by my agency and would like to update the firmware on these radios. I have programmed these radios but never flashed one.
Would someone be able to tell me what cables software etc. are necessary to flash this radio.
I do have the latest programming and tuner software and saw that I can download the flash from moto's bussiness site.
Thanks

Re: Flashing Firmware on XTL5000
The standard cable (USB if the radios are new enough firmware now, otherwise serial) and programming software is all you need. The flashes aren't downloadable - you'll need a refresh flashkey along with the proper CVN to update your radios. Your dealer should be able to help you out. Expect to pay $75/radio for firmware upgrades.postal24060 wrote:I have several XTL 5000 radios w/dual heads that are in use by my agency and would like to update the firmware on these radios.
